Watermelon and coconut sorbet

This watermelon and coconut sorbet is a refreshing and delightful treat, perfect for hot summer days. Combining the natural sweetness of watermelon with the creamy richness of coconut milk and a hint of spearmint, this sorbet is both delicious and easy to make. Whether you're looking for a light dessert or a cool snack, this recipe will satisfy your cravings.

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
200g
1 tbsp parsley
16g
2 cups coconut milk
460g
1 egg white
33g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Watermelon:
- Start by cutting the watermelon into cubes. You'll need about 4 cups, which is approximately 600g.
- Place the watermelon cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any seeds and pulp. You'll need about 3 cups of watermelon juice. Set aside.
2. Make the Simple Syrup:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Once dissolved, remove the syrup from the heat and add 1 tbsp of finely chopped spearmint. Allow it to steep for about 10 minutes.
- Strain the spearmint out of the syrup and let it cool to room temperature.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the strained watermelon juice, the cooled mint-infused simple syrup, and 2 cups of coconut milk. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Whip the Egg White:
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg white until it is frothy. This helps to create a smoother texture in the sorbet.
- Gently fold the whisked egg white into the watermelon and coconut mixture until evenly distributed.
5. Freeze the Sorbet:
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, take the dish out and stir the sorbet vigorously with a fork to break up the ice crystals. Repeat this process for about 3-4 hours, or until the sorbet is firm.
6. Serve:
- Once the sorbet has reached your desired consistency, scoop it into bowls or cones.
- Garnish with additional fresh spearmint leaves if desired.
- Enjoy your refreshing Watermelon and Coconut Sorbet!

Tips:

- Ensure your watermelon is ripe and sweet for the best flavor.

- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish and break it up with a fork every 30 minutes until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency.

- For an extra touch of freshness, garnish with additional spearmint leaves when serving.

- To make the sorbet smoother, you can strain the watermelon juice to remove any seeds or pulp.

- If you prefer a vegan version, omit the egg white or replace it with a vegan alternative.

With just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious and refreshing watermelon and coconut sorbet that is perfect for any occasion. The blend of sweet watermelon, creamy coconut milk, and aromatic spearmint offers a unique and delightful flavor that is sure to impress your guests. Enjoy your homemade sorbet, and don't hesitate to experiment with other flavors to find your perfect combination.
